Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Yup, Ps. Gary got married last week!! Congrats to him...the wedding was really funny! Yesterday was the final PSS session. It lasted for 2hrs, and I admit, it was fun. But there is a slight problem. Today was also suppose to be prayer group meeting. I thought that I had gone through the toughest moments when the prayer group was being set up. I thought that when we finally had our first meeting, "Yay!! It's now going to be smooth-sailing, God will move mightily and we will see this prayer grp multiply!" Wrong. It was not to be like this. You know that secondary school can be very busy. Mon and Thurs is 3rd lan day, tuesday and friday is CCA day, that means only Wednesday is free. wednesdays were always taken up by extra activities like remedials, PSS etc etc. It was impossible, really impossible, for us to meet up. Impossible. Week after week, discouragement after discouragement, the usual of "prayer group has to be cancelled because of this, or that...". It was disheartening. And when we do meet up, man, will I be disappointed. When we started off, we had a good number of members, probably 8 people. But when the meetings come, i would see 4 people turning up. And that's considered good. I've had a meeting where 2 people came. The worst thing was that it was the day before National Day, only 2 people were there to actually pray for our country. And now, for the last weeks of school, i want to share with the group my heart and, maybe, just maybe, ignyte passion in them. And yet, prayer group still has to be cancelled. Frustrated? Of course I'm frustrated. I am a small person. I do have my weaknesses, I do have "thorns in my flesh". You might feel like giving up now. You might ask, "God, are you there?" Well, He is there. But you will not always feel His presence, just know that He is there.I for one, feel so discouraged. But He is there. Yes, I am small and insignificant. But when you offer your life to him, when u dedicate ur whole being to HIm, He will take you as He finds you and multiply it for His glory.
Take my five loaves and two fishes Do with it as you willI surrender Take my fears and inhibitions All my burdens, my ambitions You can use it all to feed them all
I now realise, it does not matter how small or insignificant or unworthy I am. All i need to say is: "Here I am Lord. There's nothing in my hands, but take me and use me." God could use five loaves and two fishes to feed a multittude of tens of thousands of people. He could use a murderer to bring a nation out of slavery, He could use a cruel persecuting man to advance the Church, He could use a coward that denied Him thrice and build His Church on it. He could do the same for me and you. Yup, just give it all to HIm. I now know why i went through the hardships in the beginning. It was a preparation, a build-up of faith, for even harder things to come. I saw His faithfulness demonstrated during all my trials and discourgament. Even though now i am so frustrated, in the words of Tommy Tenny, "Every time you grow weary and frustrated with the painful pursuit of God's presence, rember that frustration is the address to which God sends the annointing." There is now, nothing in my hands. Yet Lord. Here I am, Send me.
"Listen. I gave you this vision. I have followed you through the setting-up of the prayer group. I have never left you. Who are you to doubt me now?"
